To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Misers are not given to joking, and the remark is not so very original in itself, but it evokes laughter amongst the juvenile portion of the audience, so I presume it accomplishes its object. Mr. Sothern gives the observation about nature, like a watchmaker, not putting good works in a bad case as pointedly as though it were very original, but it is not, I have heard it at least once before on the stage. This drama is a striking illustration of how difficult it is THE ROYAL HAYMARKET THEATRE. 3...5 even by the best acting to please when all probability is out- raged. The forging of the first will, the finding of the second, the villain dropping it, Charles Chuckles picking it up, are sorry devices, and even the scene where Polly dis- covers her lover in the garret, will not bear criticising. Polly has been shamefully used; she forgives him. She finds him out in the garret, how we are not told so far good ; but when she finds him, almost a beggar, he commences after a very few words of remorse to indulge in a succession of jokes about his uncle round the corner.
